Unfortunately, some people can't seem to grasp the concept that every body is beautiful. We live in a world where body shaming is all too common, with trolls using Twitter, Instagram, and more to tear down the appearance of others. And celebrities are often easy targets for these villains, since they're in the spotlight. But when stars like Kesha, Amy Schumer, and Tyra Banks get hit with nasty comments, they don't take them quietly. They use their platform to point out why body shaming needs to stop, whether it's targeted at celebrities or the everyday woman. Here, 11 celebs who've sent trolls packing—and given us some major body confidence along the way.

Even the star tennis champ isn't free from the trolls. While accepting her award as Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year in 2015, Williams made a point to call out those who tried to hold her back. “I’ve had people look down on me, put me down because I didn’t look like them — I look stronger,” she said in her acceptance speech. “I’ve had people look past me because the color of my skin, I’ve had people overlook me because I was a woman, I’ve had critics say I [would] never win another Grand Slam when I was only at number seven—and here I stand today with 21 Grand Slam titles, and I’m still going.”

When the comedian posted an Instagram pic of her walking along the beach, she made sure to greet the trolls who eagerly left comments. After a "good morning trolls" salutation, she wrote, "I hope you find some joy in your lives today in a human interaction and not just in writing unkind things to a stranger you've never met who triggers something in you that makes you feel powerless and alone." So accurate. Then, she explained that she's confident, no matter what they say: "This is how I look. I feel happy. I think I look strong and healthy and also like miss trunchbull from Matilda. Kisses!"

The Empire star faced some criticism after her 2014 appearance at the Golden Globes—but she clapped back in the perfect way. She took to Twitter, writing, "To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK."

While on vacation, Gomez set the record straight about her body confidence in one Instagram snap. "I love being happy with me y'all #theresmoretolove," she captioned a pic of her lounging in a bathing suit. Commenters had recently criticized Gomez after she gained weight, but, like the pop star wrote, that just means there's "more to love."

The "Confident" singer is always standing up for herself on Twitter and Instagram when the trolls come calling. One of her most inspiring: A simple tweet reading, "Dear haters, you don't have to like me cause I love you. Everyone's equal, everyone has a soul and everyone deserves to be loved."

After posting a photo of her in a bikini alongside her nieces, the Modern Family star was plagued by commenters saying her outfit was "inappropriate" and it looked like she was "asking for it." Winter followed up that photo with a meme showing how women are often shamed by the clothes they wear. She wrote in the caption: "I typically never give power to the mean things people bravely say behind their computer screens on the Internet, but this is for the girls who are constantly bullied whether it be online or at school. You are not asking for anything because of what you are wearing—you are expressing yourself and don't you ever think you deserve the negativity as the consequence to what you are wearing." Amen.

Beyoncé

Even the Queen Bey has felt the heat of body-shaming comments. Famously, she's said her song "Bootylicious" was inspired by the pressure she felt at the age of 18 to be thin. "I wrote 'Bootylicious' because, at the time, I'd gained some weight and the pressure that people put you under, the pressure to be thin, is unbelievable," she told Shape magazine. "I was just 18 and you shouldn't be thinking about that. You should be thinking about building up your character and having fun, and the song was just telling everyone to forget what people are saying, you're bootylicious. It's a celebration of curves and a celebration of women's bodies."

While vacationing, Kesha received some not-so-nice comments on her pictures. What the trolls didn't realize: She wasn't about to let it get to her. The singer posted a pic of her bending over in the ocean, and asked body shamers to "kiss my magical imperfect ass." She addressed one specific commenter, telling them that calling someone "ugly" who "has struggled publicly with body issues" is pretty terrible. Luckily, Kesha said she's in a confident place in her life, and felt empowered to address the comments rather than let them harm her. But she wanted the troll to quit it—for everyone's sake. "So on behalf of anyone anywhere who struggles with body image, STOP IT. My body is not your business," she said powerfully.

Renée Zellweger

The Bridget Jones's Diary star found herself under scrutiny in 2014, when media outlets rush to claim she had plastic surgery on her face. But Zellweger was quick to stand up for herself, telling People magazine, "It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door." If she looks different, she said, it's because she's finally living a "happy, more fulfilling" life.

The British singer who, yes, has curves has unfortunately found herself a body-shaming target. (Like when Chanel icon Karl Lagerfeld called Adele a "little too fat" in a 2012 interview.) Adele has mad confidence, though, and she shared with People her brilliant philosophy: "“I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I’m very proud of that.”

In 2006, gossip magazines shamed beach pics of the top model. So Banks sent them a strong message on her talk show when she delivered one of the first—and still most iconic—public clap backs to body-shaming. She came out wearing the same swimsuit that people criticized her for, and delivered this emotional speech: "Luckily I'm strong enough and I have a good support system...so I can overcome these attacks. But if I had lower self-esteem, I'd probably be starving myself right now," she said. "So I have something to say, to all of you who have something nasty to say about me, or other women who are built like me...women that sometimes or all the time look like this, women whose names you know, women whose names you don't, women who have been picked on, women whose husbands put them down, women at work or girls in school—I have one thing to say to you..." I'll let Banks deliver her now-famous closing line in GIF form:
